Avice's Sneezing scene


Ugh. I still don't get why that was funny and why everyone was in awe of Avice's acting abilities. I've watched this movie a few times now and I found myself fast-forwarding that scene. Her face was making me uncomfortable. I'm not trolling either. She isn't a bad actress, just strange, jerky, and over-the-top.

I found it perplexing that they kept referring to her as "pretty." She was anything but. She was tall, gawky, big-nosed. She looked like a tranny.

Same here Marvelass. She does look kinda "man-ish" but I think its those funny faces she makes. Just saw her in another movie and it was the same thing. She's a strange slap-stick comedienne.

That's why they were making fun of her. It's an irony. How good an actress was she if sneezing has been her best act?

We can't be lost; we don't know where we're going.
All that matters is that we're going.
